Storm restoration in Petersburg
Petersburg is the county seat of Menard County in central Illinois, a small city of about 2,300 that sits along the Sangamon River corridor within the NWS Lincoln forecast area. The county's tornado record includes 15 confirmed events since 1950, with EF3 and EF2 tornadoes striking in December 2010 and December 2021 respectively - a reminder that severe weather in this region is not limited to spring. Large hail and derecho-driven winds are regular warm-season hazards, and the Sangamon River is a documented flooding source after significant rainfall. Ice storms and snow-loading events each winter add structural pressure to roofs and gutters across the county's rural and small-town building stock. Storm Damage 911 connects Petersburg homeowners with vetted, licensed local contractors for a free post-storm assessment.

Menard County sits in central Illinois within the NWS Lincoln (ILX) forecast area, a corridor with documented tornado activity in every season.
